Opposition leader and Yesh Atid chair Yair Lapid said the government is approving "a budget of corruption and draft-dodging."

Elmakayes was 17 when Shin Bet detained him for over a year after intelligence officers from the IDF's 210th Division, then headed by Gofman, passed him classified information to publish on Telegram.

The military confirmed that soldiers from the IDF's 7th Brigade hit the terrorist after opening fire in order to remove the threat posed.

During the operation, soldiers also shot and killed a terrorist who "hurled a suspicious object" at them. 

At the end of the discussions, both parties agreed to an "intensive and immediate effort" to locate slain hostage Ran Gvili's remains. 

"We are moving into the next phase regarding the inquiries of October 7th, the phase of integrating the lessons into the IDF’s work plan and implementing them," Zamir said in the release.  

Lebanon will need to see if it can move forward with disarming Hezbollah. Israel may also need to explain what it means by “disarmament.”

The notice pertained to the villages of Jibaa and Mahrouna. It stated that residents were required to evacuate to a distance of at least 300 meters from the designated target areas. 

A veteran field commander turned military secretary, Gofman is set to take Israel’s top intelligence post amid scrutiny over past operational decisions and the Mossad’s evolving regional challenges.

"I gathered knowledge over there. I know the language, I know the culture, I know a lot about these demons. I have to use all of that and come back. And now I’m here in uniform,” said Edan Alexander.

A preliminary investigation indicates that the Israeli entered the city area on foot in order to locate his vehicle, which he claimed had been stolen several hours earlier.
